The Potter's Final Piece (Pooka Women's Club #1)

***From 2026 IPPY Gold Medal Winning Author - Best Mystery***

A small-town scandal. A stolen fortune. And a women’s club with nothing to lose.

When Biddy Bramley returns to her hometown of Pooka, Indiana, after her husband’s passing, she expects awkward reunions, petty gossip, and a fresh start—not rumors that her estranged sister was cheated out of a multi-million-dollar pottery business before her death. The town dismisses Eileen as a delusional old woman, but Biddy refuses to let her sister’s legacy die with her.

Never one to leave history buried, Biddy enlists a ragtag band of sleuths: a no-nonsense bar owner, an exhausted mom craving a break, and a street-savvy woman working off her community service. Together with Biddy’s own skeptical daughter, they form the Pooka Women’s Club—part support group, part amateur detective team.
But as the unlikely allies dig into Eileen’s past, they stir up more than just old grudges. Someone in Pooka has secrets worth killing for—and if they’re not careful, they’ll find themselves jumping out of the kiln and into the fire.

The Potter’s Final Piece is a charming, twist-filled cozy mystery perfect for fans of small-town secrets, found family, and amateur sleuths with something to prove. With a quirky cast of witty women, this novel delivers a delightful blend of humor, heart, and mystery ideal for readers who love compelling but clean whodunits.
